ATOMIZER.

SPECIFICAION forming part of Letters Patent No. 625,621, dated May 23, 1899. Application led April 6, 1897. Serial No. 630,935. (No model.)

To @ZZ whom it may concern:

Beit known that I, WILLIAM E. WHITTIER, of New York, (Brooklym) in A'the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Atomizer, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description. i

The object of the invention is to provide a new and improved atomizer arranged for atomizing a liquid and vaporizing another in a very simple manner.

The invention consists of certain parts and details and combinations of the same, as will be fully described hereinafter and then pointed out in the claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, inwhich similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure l is a sectional side elevation of the improvement on the line l 1 of Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a plan View of the same. Fig. 3 is a cross-section of part of the improvement on the line 3 3 of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is an inverted sectional plan view of the improvement on the line 4l 4. of Fig. l. Fig. 5 is an enlarged sectional side elevation of the air-discharge nozzle for the bottle contained within the vessel of the atomizer. Fig. 6 is an inverted plan View of the same, and Fig. 7 is a sectional side elevation of a modiedform of the improvement.

The apparatus is provided with a vessel A, adapted to contain the liquid to be atomized, and the neck of the vessel A isy normally closed by a stopper B, held in a cap C, iitted upon a gasket D, of flexible material, and placed on the upper edge of the vessel A. A yoke E extends over the top of the cap C and is provided on its side arms with inwardlyextending lugs E', adapted to pass downward through registering recesses C A' in the cap C and the neck of the vesselA and to then pass under the shoulder A2, formed on the neck of the bottle, so as to securely lock the cap C and its stopper B in place on the neck of the vessel A. It is understood that a slight turn is given to theyoke E after the lugs E reach the lower end of the recess A to pass under the shoulder A2 of the vessel.

Into the liquid contained in the vessel A extends the liquid-outlet pipe F, secured in `the air-pipe head G, passing to the cap C and extendingpart way into the stopper B, as plainly shown in Fig. 3, the said head G being provided with an offset G for connection `with the tube of the bulb I, used for forcing airinto the said head G and down into the vessel A to press on the liquid contained therein, yso as to force the liquid up into and through the pipe F. The upper end of the pipe conlnects with the pipe H, extending through the head G, and the air-discharge pipe G2, leadthe lower end of the stopper B, the latter being recessed for this purpose. `Into the bottle J extends an air-pipe K, passing through the stopper B and cap C to the outside thereof, to be connected at its outer end with the tube of the bulb I to force the air through the pipe K into and through the liquid contained in the bottle J. The stopper B is provided with an opening B', leading from the inside of the bottle J to a pipe L, screwed or otherwise secured in the cap C, the pipe being provided at its outer end with a discharge-nozzle L for the vapors. The lower end ofthe pipe K is provided with a nozzle K', screwed or otherwise removably connected therewith and provided in its bottom with a contracted outlet K2, leading to a recess K3, formed in the under side of the nozzle and extending to the edge thereof. An opening K4 is also formed in the side of the pipe K next to the nozzle K', as plainly illustrated in Fig. 5, so that the air forced down the pipe K can pass through the openings K4 and K2 and recess K2 into the liquid contained in the bottle J, so as t0 vaporize the liquid, the vapors passing out through the opening B into the pipe L to be discharged therefrom at the nozzle L. The air passes in very tine streams into the liquid contained in the bottle J, so that a proper vaporizing of the liquid takes place. IE the nozzle K should become clogged, it can be IOO readily removed and cleaned and reattached to the pipe K.

By having the recess or groove Ks in the under side of the nozzle I secure the advantage of discharging Ithe air against and along the bottom of the receptacle, thus agitating any sediment that may be formed and preventing said sediment in most cases from clogging the air-Outlets of the pipe and nozzle.

In Vaporizing large quantities of the liquid I prefer the arrangement shown in Fig. 7, in which the vaporizin g air-inlet pipe K5 extends into the Outer or larger vessel A3, having in its stopper a suitable vapor-Outlet, as shown. The pipe K5 has tWo separate bores KG K7, having their adjacent ends standing at angles to each other and terminating in a nozzle-head K8, extending horizontally from' the pipe K5. NOW when air isv forced through the bore K6 then a suction is created in the bore K7, so that the liquid in the vessel A3 is drawn up into the said bore and out through the angular upper end Of the nozzle-head, to be vaporized by the air coming through the bore K, the vapor passing through the head K8, over the level Of the liquid, to the Walls of the vessel A3, to then rise to the Outlet and pass out Of the same.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patentreceptacles whereby the medicaments or the like contained in saidreceptacles may be applied successively, substantially as set forth.

an air-supply, and provided at its other end With a nozzle having a contracted bore communicating directly With the longitudinal bore of said inlet-pipe, the nozzle furtherhaving a groove open at the bottom and extending from said contracted boreto the edge of the nozzle, substantially as described.

3. In an atomizer, the combination of the receptacle and the air-inlet tube leading into the same, and adapted to be connected with an air-su ppl y said tube having a longitudinal bore, a radial groove Open at the bottom and communicating with the Outlet end of the said bore, and a lateral outlet extending from the said bore above the said radial groove, and an Outlet-pipe leading from a receptacle substantially as described.

4. In an atomizer, the combination of the inner receptacle, the inlet and outlet tubes therefor, the Outer receptacle, the air-inlet l charge tube, and a liquid-outlet tube extending axially Within the air-discharge tube, substantially as described.
